Liverpool's summer transfer activity has been notable, with the signing of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt and Florian Wirtz from Bayern Leverkusen. The club is also expected to sign Colombian forward Luis Diaz, who will undergo a medical tomorrow ahead of his move to Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez has started only one of Liverpool's final 22 Premier League games under Slot last season.

Al Ahli, the winners of the Asia Champions League, are looking to make a major move for Nunez. They have been joined by other interested parties, although Napoli have already pulled out of the running. Liverpool may already have secured the signing of Ekitike, but they are also interested in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who is eager to leave his current club this summer.

Should Liverpool sell Nunez for a fee close to £60 million, it could pave the way for Isak to join the Reds. The financial incentives of moving to the Middle East are substantial, and Nunez would likely see more playing time than under Slot, who is keen to move the striker on in favor of the Swedish international.
